Killed, but HoNY

SPRINGFIELD, Mo, Oct. 1S-Bert
Chandler. printer who had been working
in The daily Leader Office Of this city for
come time, WAS killed near Nichols juno
ton, on the X C, S. & NJ +. r., yester-
day. He wss found on the track with his
head severed from bis body. His head had
evidently been cut off by the CARS Whether
he had gone to sleep on the track, or had
been killed and placed on the track to mis-
lead the public as to the manner Of his
death, ia not known. He left this city on
foot Yesterday for the west In company
with another printer, and In few hours
word was received here by telegraph from
bis companion that he had been killed by
the cars. Only small sum of money was
found with the body, although 1t Is known
he had quite little sum with him when he
kft this city.
At,he irquest tonight the engineer and
fireman of the train which ran over Chan
der, testified that his companion, G II.
Frederick, endesvored TO board the engine
some distance from where the body was
iyiBg (the train was In the act of stoppinp)
and was prevented by the engineer; that he
then asked the question, Did you kill that
man down the trackf' 1t was also
developed In the testimony that there
was a pool of blood several feet
from The track between which and the
blood on the track there was no connection.
Frederick's statement on returning TO this
city. as he did after telegrsphing. was that
he first learned of the death Of hi, compan
fon from the trsinmen when they overlook
him at Nichols. There Is considerable
mystery surrounding the case. which 1t
will require further Investigation to clear,
The verdict Of the coroner's jury Is simply
that Chandler came to his death from being
run over by the cars. The remains will be
sent TO Ottawa, kss., where the parents OF
the deceased reside.

Hand County press. (Miller, Dakota [S.D.]) 1882-1893, 1887-10-27

The Hon. VIM. Gladstone, the greatest
statesman OF this age. is still actively COLI
ducting his battle for the oppressed peo-
pie OF Great Britain. He Is now advo-
eating the enfranchisement Of the nation,
as the primary tool essential to the woik,
abolition Of faggot voting, and the re-
striction of one vote to one man. This is
net far from that universal suffrage so
popular in our own country. The property
qualification is too elastic il England. A
man may live in one district and vote
there, and may also vote in any other dis
trict In which he may own property.
Large property owners are thus enabled to
vote in several counties, the elections in
Great Britain not occurring every place ON
the same day Us in this country.
There is also proposition to repeal the
law of entail, which, il successful. will
readily settle the land question. There
are estates that have been held in families
from the time Of William the Norman
until this day. The owner could not sell
nor give them away; he held the revenues
for life, with remainder 20 his next of
male kin. Entail has been the protection
of peerage, for without hereditary wealth
hereditary peerage would long ago have
fallen into contempt and disuse. Mr..
Gladstone also advocates disestablishmen'
OF the state churches Of Wales and Scot
land. The great leader is slowly ou'
surely moulding English thought to en-
terain his own advanced ideas
Hand County press. (Miller, Dakota [S.D.]) 1882-1893, 1887-10-27
ADJOURNED TO NOV. 8,

We presume the people OF Sioux City,
Omaha, Kansas City and other points
along the Presidents recent swing, were
Intensely interested when the presidential
party made its advent at their respective
places. But we hasten to assure the
reader that no such soul absorbing enthu.
siasm took possession Of them us that now
exhibited by the people Cf the I'd Commits
missioner district Of Hand couRty on the
question of who is to be their next Com
missioner. One gifted with fertile i'm
ssination may possibly, in limited de-
gree conceive something OF the situation
from the following
First, the fact that convention should
be called for the purpose of nominating
commissioner came nearly being forgotten
altogether.
Second, SO far as We can learn, not a
dogoned caucus was called in the district
TO select delegates to said convention, ex-
cept in Miller township, and not soul
went to that one.
Third, Turney NJ. wilkins skin mished
around on the day OF the convention
Tuesday-and worked up caucus large
enough to select delegates.
Fourth, it was the only delegation pres
ent. And stranger than all else it was
demonstrated that not man in Miller
wanted the of1ise-Well, hold on. well
change that little, because it is so con-
trsry to all precedent. At any rate not a
citizen Of Miller asked to have his name
presented. However, before election day
there may be several up.
The Miller delegation met enmasso at
the court house at the hour set, and after
some discussion it was decided it had au-
thority to resolve itself into a convention,
inasmuch as one had been duly called, and
they were not to blame because none
others were there. John u. King was
placed in nomination but as there was no
seco I'D it was decided to adjourn the Cir
Gus to Thursday, Nov. Sd, at o'clock p. N.
Mr.. Barrows, of St Lawrence. was pres
ent and stated he was positive the St
Lawrence people had forgotten all about
the convention, aud presumed it was SO
with the balance of the townships. 1t
seems probable that Mr.. King will be
compelled to hold over another term, un-
less we arouse from our lethargy and nom-
mate one Nov. Sd, and elect him Nov, Sth.
and we presume barkis is willin so
far as concerns Mr.. King. The simple
truth of the matter is that everybody,
both farmers and business men, are too
busy Just now to care much aboat politics.
